Ascot Tips January 11

Own The Dream 2025 Registrations Open Plate Tips (Race 4)

Ascot Value Bet - Race 4 No. 6 Santanova

The filly showed up well in two of her three barrier trials prior to making her racecourse debut in a 1000m maiden at Bunbury last month.

The pick was beaten one-and-a-half-lengths into third when racing on a good 4 track that day with both subsequent starts coming at the same venue.

The youngster showed improved form when breaking through to deliver a one-and-a-half-length victory in a maiden held over the same distance eleven days later.

While the filly suffered a surprise defeat when jumping at short odds for a Class 1 handicap over the same course and distance subsequently it’s notable that the front two finished clear of the third.

The selection jumped from barrier six and was unable to get to the lead last time and she will jump from next to the rail for this contest.

Chris Parnham is a positive jockey booking and representing the in form Michael Lane team the pick looks value to make her first metro start a winning one.

MCA Polytrack Handicap Tips (Race 5)

Ascot Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 2 Sure No Something

The six-year-old has yet to finish outside the first three in seven starts this prep including when resuming with a third over 1200m at Geraldton in October.

The gelding broke through for his first success this time around when triumphing over 1213m in a Benchmark 58+ handicap at the same venue two starts later.

The pick went on to register his second win when contesting a 1200m Benchmark 60+ handicap here two starts later.

Both of those victories came on the good 4 surface forecast here with the selection arriving here on the back of a second in a 1400m Benchmark 70+ handicap at Geraldton last month.

Ron Cowl’s gelding has shaped as if a step up in distance would suit in recent times and he should have no issues with the 1500m he gets here.

Clint Johnston-Porter, on board for his most recent success takes the ride for the first time since and the pair look up to recording their second win together.

Peters Investments Handicap Tips (Race 7)

Ascot Best Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Prophet And Power

Jim P Taylor’s gelding showed good placed form in his first three starts this time around including twice at this venue.

The pick broke through for his first victory of the season when coming home two lengths clear of his eleven rivals in a 1650m Class 3 handicap at Belmont early last month.

The six-year-old raced from the front on that occasion and he was ridden close to the speed once more when following up over this track and trip ten days later.

The gelding dropped back to 1600m for a Benchmark 66+ handicap, a race in which he came home one-and-a-half-lengths clear of his rivals when again racing from the front a week ago.

The selection boasts a strong record at this venue having won half of his four starts here while regular pilot Luke Campbell is set to ride once more.

The son of Divine Prophet arrives here in great form and looks capable of clearing rivals to get to the front jumping from barrier eight.

Miss Andretti Stakes (Listed) Tips (Race 8)

Ascot Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 8 Twain’s Angel

The daughter of Toronado completed a four-timer when success over 1200m in a Benchmark 66+ handicap held on a wet track at Belmont in June.

Spelled following that success the filly showed up well in a couple of barrier trials prior to resuming with a sixth over 1200m at this venue in October.

While Sean & Jake Casey’s representative could finish only seventh in the Listed Jungle Mist Classic here subsequently she has demonstrated improvement in two subsequent outings.

The pick came home a length third in a 1000m Benchmark 72+ handicap here last month before finishing one place better in a similar race held over 1200m here a week later.

The four-year-old was beaten less than half-a-length when ridden cold here last time and she boasts a good barrier next to the rail.

Madi Derrick, on board for all six of the selection’s previous wins is back in the saddle here with the pair looking capable of registering a win racing off a low weight.
